Campi ya Kanzi

Campi ya Kanzi is a hidden jewel seated in the Maasai private grounds of Southern Kenya, shadowed by Mt. Kilimanjaro. Secluded, quiet and far from a disturbing force in these precious grounds, the camp houses up to 14 guests in the six thatched roof tent cottages and suites, which each provide twin beds or a king-size bed. All tented cottages feature the comforts of home, with stones, fabric and wood setting the eclectic décor. Verandas allow for a spectacular view of the hills and mountains. Meals are prepared by the Italian owners with the ever-present Maasai who work at the camp. A home cooked allure leaves guests wanting for more. Cozy, intimate, and personal, Campi Ya Kanzi invites you to take part in all the glory that is the game, hikes, and walks throughout the Maasai region.

Campi ya Kanzi Activities

Imagine a day that begins with the aroma of Kenyan coffee or tea brought to your tent by your personal Maasai attendant. Enjoy your coffee or tea and the view of Mt. Kilimanjaro on the veranda and then head out for your morning walk or game drive.After your safari, return to the camp for a breakfast that includes fresh local fruit such as mango and pineapple or enjoy a picnic breakfast in the middle of the savanna with complete eggs and bacon cooked on a bush fire. Following breakfast, you can enjoy an escorted safari on foot, or just relax at the camp. At lunchtime, we can organize a grand picnic for you, featuring fresh vegetables from our garden, or you can dine at Tembo House and then take an afternoon fiesta At other safari camps, guests frequently find themselves tied to an inflexible, predetermined safari schedule. Not so at Campi Ya Kanzi: our guests really appreciate that they can work directly with their professional guide to design each day's safari and activities.
